Cloverfield is pretty fucking awesome! Being how were unabashed gorehounds over here I figured what the fuck lets talk about Cloverfield some. I’m a huge Lost fan, so I was really excited when it was announced that J.J. Abrams would be producing Cloverfield but that excitement turned to malaise when I saw that the studios planned to release it in January. Traditionally January is where movie studios dump the duds they’ve pumped money into to die and recoup whatever profit they can. So my hopes for Cloverfield being awesome tanked pretty quickly. I actually decided that I’d hold off until DVD to see it based on the release date.

When it came out last week it got such mixed reviews that it sparked my interest yet again. I then started to notice how any and all complaints about the movie were hardly things I’d even consider flaws. Comparisons to the Blair Witch Project, imagery of NYC being destroyed too soon after 9/11, New Yorkers being portrayed unrealistically, Compliants about carrying around a camcorder for that long in the event and it’s batteries lasting… huh, it’s a movie, a monster movie! Suspend suspend some disbelief why don’t ya? So my interest was peaked again. I saw it last night and it was fucking awesome! This is such a well executed monster flick! And though we’ve gone back and forth on the Dark Knight, both Prolly & I give it a thumbs up! My only wish was that the actual monster (from hat you could see of it) resembled Cthulhu more!
